Does anyone have a calf in with their dairy goat for a companion??
I got a milking goat about a month ago and I also got 2 companion wethers along with her. they are actually her mother's kids from this year. Anyways, I don't know what their deal is, but now they are trying desperately to suck on her. She spends the majority of the day/night ramming them to get away but they just don't let it go. The past 2 morning Ive went out to milk her and she's almost completely sucked dry! She must have given up overnight and let them drink. So now ill have to separate them, which won't work good because I dont' have 2 pastures or 2 pens to put them in separately. And if they are suppose to be companions, they shouldn't be separate!
I had been thinking about getting a bull calf to raise for the freezer. I was wondering if I should just ditch the 2 wethers and get the calf as a companion for my Doe.
Do calves and goats like each other???
